The Move Toward Ending Private Property is Alive and Well

We have stated before that withdrawal from the Paris Agreement would have little to no effect on what will happen with federal, state and local compliance with the “sustainability”, “urbanization”, and “globalization” agenda.

Here is yet another example of how the agenda marches on.

New York Mayor Bill DiBlasio had this to say about how he would like to deal with income inequality:

“What’s been hardest is the way our legal system is structured to favor private property. I think people all over this city, of every background, would like to have the city government be able to determine which building goes where, how high it will be, who gets to live in it, what the rent will be. I think there’s a socialistic impulse, which I hear every day, in every kind of community, that they would like things to be planned in accordance to their needs. And I would, too. Unfortunately, what stands in the way of that is hundreds of years of history that have elevated property rights and wealth to the point that that’s the reality that calls the tune on a lot of development…. Look, if I had my druthers, the city government would determine every single plot of land, how development would proceed. And there would be very stringent requirements around income levels and rents. That’s a world I’d love to see, and I think what we have, in this city at least, are people who would love to have the New Deal back, on one level. They’d love to have a very, very powerful government, including a federal government, involved in directly addressing their day-to-day reality.”

The move toward control of every aspect of society is making headway. Our educational system has long been compromised, and we are seeing more and more ‘ad hoc’ groups and NGOs calling the shots for our cities and towns. Elected officials are helping them. Even the people who we elect with the expectation that they will not comply, have come to disappoint us. The implementation of all day kindergarten in NH by Republican Governor Sununu is a recent example. It has now emboldened the promotion of “workforce training” for children aged 0-5.
